Savannah Police Shooting

[tumscalcium]

I'm in Savannah right now. I'll go investigate

I live here now and this is the first I've heard of it. Haha. Volnation for my news..

If he was in handcuffs did the cop have to shoot him? Wouldn't a taser be more appropriate?

You can't shoot a gun wearing handcuffs?

At least per the Georgia Bureau of Investigation the suspect managed to get his hands in front of his body and had a gun that the officer saw. If you have a handgun that you can get to easily I'm not going to bet my life on drawing a taser, even if he had one.

What is it with these idiot police officers?! I know they have a tough job but some of them dig their own grave.

If the initial report is correct, this will be a clean shoot.

 

[Burhead]

If the initial report is correct, this will be a clean shoot.

Seems that way, the officer will probably be fired though for failing to notice the handgun during the initial pat down.

Yeah if he had gone through the proper motions and patted him down properly this never would've happened.

Looks like this is what happened in the Savannah case:

If the guy was worth a s*** it wouldn't have happened either.

Paid administrative leave seems to be sop in LE when the firearm is uses. one of the guys that I know had to take one and the guy just lost a pinkie (I kinda give him shiz for that).

This guy might be grounded for a bit but if it was a clean shoot, even with failing to identify the gun, I don't think he'll get a pink slip.

he should probably have asked him pretty please put the gun down

How about the derelict didn't break the law in the first place? How about the fool didn't kick out the window of the police car? You liberal pansies drive me nuts..... It's always somebody else's fault

That's irrelevant. He was a good man.

Cop just saved the taxpayers a lot of money. Good shootin' officer.

You want to charge into the 21 foot range of the Taser while the suspect has a gun?

Yeah, didn't think so...

Well the officer couldve just shot the gun out of his hand. Sheesh

Or fired a warning shot. Or just like shot him in the fleshy part of the arm. You know, just to sting him.

You're so violent. I would been more inclined to give him a stern voice command
